Predicting cancer, personalising care. Can computer simulations find the right treatment?
Add this event to your calendar
No two people are the same, and neither are any two cancers.
Simon Mitchell, Professor in Cancer Systems Biology at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, reveals how virtual tumours can help find the right treatment for each cancer. He’ll show how computer simulation can predict how cancer might progress, or which treatment might work best for each person. Using the same combination of maths and computing we use to predict the weather and the stock market, he’ll show how computer simulation is paving the way for a new era of personalised medicine.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, patient, student or simply curious about how medicine is evolving, this lecture offers a fascinating insight into a fast-moving field.
